What's inside

The 8-step system for hiring a mobile diesel tech who stays

Most shops hire on gut and a handshake — then eat the cost when it doesn't work out. This is the repeatable process the best owners run, top to bottom.

01
Write a job post that repels the wrong people
Be honest about mobile/roadside reality so the tire-kickers screen themselves out.
02
Source where diesel techs actually are
The boards, groups, and referral moves that beat "post and pray."
03
The 5-minute phone screen
Three questions that end 80% of calls before you waste a shop visit.
04
10 interview questions that surface the truth
Behavioral questions that separate real wrench time from a padded résumé.
05
A hands-on skills check
A short, real diagnostic task — before you commit a paycheck.
06
Reference calls that aren't a formality
What to actually ask past employers — and how to read the pauses.
07
An offer they won't ghost
Pay, tools, and a growth path framed so they say yes and mean it.
08
A first-90-days plan
Onboarding and check-ins so your new hire doesn't quit in month two.
